Made from durable stainless steel, it supports secure suturing in extractions, periodontal repairs, and implant procedures. Essential for controlled, reliable wound closure.
Description
A Needle Holder is a critical surgical instrument used to securely grasp and guide suturing needles during wound closure in dental and oral surgical procedures. With a spring-loaded or ratchet locking mechanism, it ensures firm control over fine needles, allowing precise placement of sutures in delicate tissues such as the gingiva, mucosa, or surgical flaps. Made from premium stainless steel, it is designed for strength, stability, and sterilization compatibility.
The working tips are often serrated or carbide-reinforced to prevent needle slippage while maintaining minimal pressure to avoid bending or breaking. The instrument’s ergonomic design helps reduce hand fatigue during lengthy procedures, ensuring comfort and accuracy.
Key features and benefits:
• Secure grip with locking mechanism for stable needle handling
• Fine, serrated jaws to prevent needle rotation or slip
• Robust stainless steel construction with autoclavable finish
• Ergonomic spring or ring handle for controlled movement
• Ideal for precision suturing in surgical and periodontal procedures
Common applications:
• Suturing after tooth extractions or flap surgeries
• Periodontal and implant surgery closure
• Repair of soft tissue injuries and lacerations
• Placement of resorbable or non-resorbable sutures
Compared to standard forceps, a needle holder offers greater stability and accuracy, particularly in confined intraoral spaces. Some variations include tungsten carbide inserts for extended durability and enhanced grip. A high-quality needle holder supports professional wound healing and contributes to clean, aesthetic surgical outcomes.
